If tree branches hover over your property, the top of your roof could be covered with leaves, twigs, and additional debris from Ohio’s winter storms and spring showers; rising temperatures will also put additional strain on a roof. That’s why the team at Ray St. Clair Roofing believes it’s the perfect season to schedule a roof cleaning appointment.

Servicing the Greater Cincinnati area, their knowledge comes from experience providing homeowners with roof repairs, cleanings, and replacement services to extend the lifespan of their systems. Below, the roofers explain how summer roof cleaning will make the protective cover last longer: 

• Prepare for Seasonal Storms: While removing the accumulated debris, a trained roof cleaning specialist will also examine the system for water damage and leaks. Vulnerable areas become even weaker under the weight of summer’s torrential rain. Spotting problems during a regular summer cleaning means you have time to fix the damage before the next seasonal storm makes it worse. 
• Spot Sun Damage: The sun’s UV rays can seriously damage your roof. The excessive heat warps and degrades wooden shingles and causes asphalt varieties to buckle. Eventually, the sun can eat away at the substrate and compromise the integrity of the system. During the roof cleaning, your technician will determine whether protective treatments need to be applied. 
• Prepares the Gutter System: Summer is a rainy season, which means all the debris on your roof will float down to the gutter system. If gutters are clogged with junk, additional items will weigh them down. This could cause the water channels to break away from the roof. By cleaning the roof and gutters, you won’t have to worry about the next rainstorm having a negative impact on your property.
